Local Plan 2015-2030 Preferred Options for Consultation
Representation ID: 245
Received: 01/10/2013
Respondent: Essex County Council
Representation Summary:
Paragraph 1.14 indicates that a Sustainability Appraisal was undertaken to support the Issues and Options stage of the Local Plan, and to support previous work concerning Gypsy and Traveller sites. Brentwood Borough Council published a Sustainability Scoping Report for consultation in May/July 2013. Consequently, it is unclear how this Appraisal could have appropriately informed the spatial strategy in the Preferred Option Local Plan. As such, as far as can be evidenced, no independent recommendations regarding sustainability could have influenced the production of these two elements of the plan, contrary to paragraph 1.14.
